Postmates had been one of the more ambitious entries into that scene and grew quickly at first. That growth began to slow and reports of problems within the companies —and difficulties in finding new cash to fund its business — weighed on the company.

With this new funding round, Postmates wants to launch internationally and expand its delivery categories beyond food. That means adding more delivery options for alcohol and wellness products in particular.

The company sees potential for its service in international markets, even where UberEats has already aggressively expanded. The company is especially interested in cities in the Middle East and South America, Postmates vice president of growth and strategy Kristin Schaefer told Mashable.

"Our product is something that doesn't exist internationally. Even in markets where UberEats has already expanded, that's a limited selection of merchants partnered versus our platform, which also has the anywhere product," Schaefer said.

Postmates launched its in four new US cities last week — New Orleans, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa — and is planning a "fair number" of domestic launches in the next year. The company also plans to open new offices in New York and Seattle with this new round of funding, Schaefer said.

The funding round puts Postmates on track to reach profitability by late 2017, Schaefer said.

Early reports of a possible funding round pegged the valuation of Postmates at around $450 million.
